MINI NEWS: New “I Don’t Wanna Be Sad” videos and more!

It’s time for the next edition of mini news with some bits that have recently come to surface regarding our favorite band and which should keep you in the loop. Let’s get to it!

Firstly, the boys are back in town! Which town? Los Angeles, of course! While Pierre and Chuck live in the area, David, Sebastien and Jeff flew from Montreal to catch up with the two song-writers in LA, who have (hopefully) been busy writing some more songs for their upcoming album. The exactly reason of their visit of LA however still remains secret. It could be possible that the band is already done writing and they are ready to record whatever Pierre and Chuck came up with so far, or they might also have another agenda.

That brings us to mini-news no.2 – Pierre’s latest Instagram post. Yesterday, Pierre posted a picture of himself and David on Instagram, with the description “Another day, another shoot” and also implying in the hashtag that it may be taking place at the beach. Now, the word “shoot” could suggest either a photoshoot or a videoshoot. We already know the guys already did their album cover photoshoot and also filmed quite a lot of videoshoots, so whether it’s either one of them, we can’t really tell as of right now (so many secrets, right??).

And finally, Pierre’s Instagram posts lead us to the three videos he posted on this social media network yesterday as well, which all consist of more short clips inspired by “I Don’t Wanna Be Sad” and feature various guest stars including his bandmates, the ocean and also his little daughters – Lennon and Soren. Check them out:

The guys recently updated their Facebook page with a couple of awesome videos. In the first one you can see Chuck and David talking about the wonderful reaction they have received for their newly released song “Boom”. Check it out:

And the second video, which the band put up just today shows us Jeff’s Italian spirit as the guys are back in Italy for tomorrow’s show in Treviso:

REVIEW + PHOTOS: Amsterdam, Netherlands


Simple Plan left from Antwerp in the night and got to Amsterdam a few hours later. The fans started lining up around Paradiso around mid-day and around 4pm some of them were let in for the soundcheck.

Since Paradiso used to be a church, the interior featured incredible stained glass on the windows and two sets of balconies on top of each other, which were underlit by gorgeous strings of light bulbs.

The sold-out show itself started later that evening, once again with The Overslept as the opening act. Simple Plan’s show started half an hour after The Overslept finished their set and the setlist was the same as in Antwerp:

Setlist: Amsterdam, Netherlands (26/08/2015)

1. Jet Lag
2. Can’t Keep My Hands Off You
3. Jump / I Gotta Feeling
4. Welcome to My Life
5. The Rest of Us
6. Your Love Is a Lie
7. Astronaut
8. You Suck at Love
9. Boom
10. When I’m Gone
11. Shut Up
12. Crazy
13. Loser of the Year
14. I’d Do Anything

Encore:
15. Summer Paradise
16. I’m Just a Kid
17. Perfect

You can check out some of my pictures from the soundcheck and the show itself in the gallery (along with pics from DuchScene.nl):

INTERESTING SCOOPS FROM THE SHOW:
– Pierre’s family (wife Lachelle and daughters Lennon and Soren) were present at the show and watched the first part of it from the balcony
– during Summer Paradise, Pierre’s daughters helped kick the inflated beach balls into the crowd with the help of Pierre and his bandmates (see the gallery for pictures)
– it might have been the first time David and Pierre actually publicly shared a kiss on the lips live on stage

To me personally, this might have been the best Simple Plan show I have ever attended: the band was fantastic and so was the amazing crowd. And finally, you can check out some of the forementioned interesting scoops on the two videos below:
